Pretty, huh?

The guy who was supposed to be here tomorrow decided it's more of a job than he's qualified to handle, but doable for someone with more expertise

Emma (aka Kajira) weak hand but still milking

also was hit by a car when riding a horse, and got a screwed up back... but a back's not a hand.

My husband and I were talking though, and I think we may go back to mini-nubians for milk production. He was talking about taking me to a goat auction.

Right egg is making progress!

Even after having been in the fridge, chicken droppings and egg yoke covered, damp washed, they keep on trucking...4/4 due the 16th, 4 due on the 18th are just starting to show signs, and the 12 due on the 20th are too early to call. but, these will be included in the final count

God luck!

Sounds like she just didn't feel good. How old was she? Are you getting a necropsy?
If so, here's 2 labs for you.

On the canoe, did you use the website I gave you to ascertain a value?
.

No necropsy. Frankly, I'm not even supposed to have chickens w/o a permit, so I don't call attention to the fact that I do. This placed is zoned Agricultural, that's not the issue. It's just another way for the gov't, county or otherwise, to get into our pockets. Other than the original 7 I bought from Southern States, and the new rooster I brought in 8+ months ago from Jess, and quarantined for a month, mine is a closed flock. I don't sell chicks, and any cockerels that leave here are most likely headed for the table. My coops can't be seen from the road up front, and there are no roads at all beside or behind me. Since the trees have grown taller over the years, the only clue that there's even a house back here is the lane and mailbox 600+ feet away. On top of all that, the guy who owns the place next to me has more chickens than I do, right along the road, and I doubt he has a permit, either.

Yeah, I went to that web site. I don't remember what the outcome was now, as far as determining a value; seems to me I needed a serial #, which I didn't have at the time. I later, after I was told where to look, found the number in two places, but they don't match. I did place a free ad for the canoe, either on that site or another like it. To date, I've had 3 responses. The 1st guy didn't really want to come this far w/o seeing pictures, which I couldn't provide at the time, so he faded away into the sunset. I've received 2 responses in the last day, sent pictures to both guys, and one of them said he be here tomorrow afternoon. We'll see.

I'll send you some pictures in a minute, so you can get an idea of what I've got. For some unknown reason, the line with all the goodies isn't displaying in this reply, & I ain't about to retype it all.
You're zoned agriculture, but need to get permit for chickens? Gov't just loves your money. Good luck selling the canoe.

Cute, but you told me you don't make items. Maybe you can make me a new hat!
